Lean Methodology, initially developed for manufacturing, has also been successfully applied across service sector, including hospitals, banks, hotels, and university laboratories. In this case study, Lean engineering has been implemented in a computer lab of an international university to address issues related to cluttered spaces, non-operational computers, lack of orderliness. These problems resulted in inefficiencies, long waiting times, unnecessary travel distances to find working computers, and underutilized space. The study aimed to reduce travel time to locate functional computers, eliminate waste, improve efficiency, and create a safe and sustainable working environment using Lean engineering tools such as the 5S framework (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain), Fishbone diagrams, time studies, and Muda analysis. Successful implementation of Lean engineering has been resulted in a notable reduction in travel distances to operational computers, a cleaner environment with the removal of broken furniture and materials, and the introduction of regular cleaning schedules to maintain organization. Additionally, waiting times for assistance were reduced, significantly enhancing lab efficiency. By incorporating tools like the 5S methodology, Pareto diagrams, and simulations (e.g., Layout IQ and Draw.io), the project successfully tackled the lab’s inefficiencies, improving overall organization and workflow. This study demonstrates how Lean principles can transform laboratory environments, offering insights for future applications of Lean in similar settings
